DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new rolled towel device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6 , the furled towel holster device 10 generally comprises a towel 12 being produced of a soft material 14. The soft material 14 is configured for being either cotton or microfiber. The soft material 14 is configured for being smooth on the skin of the user 16 wherein providing comfort to the user 16. Additionally, the towel 12 has a first end 18 and a second end 20.

The towel 12 is configured for positioning from an unrolled position to a rolled position. The towel 12 is biased towards being positioned within the unrolled position due to the supple characteristics of the soft material 14. The unrolled position is configured for the towel 12 being a flat rectangular shape wherein the first 18 and second 20 ends of the towel 12 are coplanar relative to each other. Alternately, the rolled position of the towel 12 is configured for the first end 18 of the towel 12 winding about the second end 20 of the towel 12, wherein forming the towel 12 into a cylindrical shape 22. A pair of side ends 24 of the rolled position expose a spiral design 26 produced from the wound towel 12. In addition, the rolled position of the towel 12 has an exterior surface 28.

Furthermore, a plurality of bands 30 is enwrapped around the exterior surface 28 of the rolled position of the towel 12. Each of the bands 30 is a rubber material 32. The rubber material 32 is configured for exhibiting friction resistance against a variety of surfaces, wherein each of the bands 30 remains in a fixed position relative to a surface they lay against. Moreover, the plurality of bands 30 is configured for holding the towel 12 within the cylindrical shape 22 wherein inducing a firm characteristic of the towel 12. The firm characteristic is configured for the towel 12 being resistant to compression in the rolled position. The firm characteristic helps retain the cylindrical shape 22 of the rolled position of the towel 12 when in-use.

In use, a towel 12 is positioned from the unrolled position to the rolled position. The user 16 enwraps a plurality of bands 30 around the exterior surface 28 of the towel 12 in the rolled position, wherein each of the bands 30 restrains the towel 12 in the cylindrical shape 22. Subsequently, the side 34 of the user 16 lies upon the bed 36 and positions the towel 12 adjacent to the back 38 of the user 16 upon the bed 36. The plurality of bands 30 is configured for retaining the towel 12 in a fixed position upon the surface of the bed 36. Alternately, the user 16 can move the towel 12 from the back 38 of the user 16 to the front 40 of the user 16 wherein the user 16 cradles the towel 12 to facilitate in lying down. Additionally, positioning from the side 34 of the user 16 to the back 38 of the user 16 upon the bed 36 and nesting the towel 12 laterally between a pair of legs 42 of the user 16 wherein providing a comfortable sleeping position with the pair of legs 42 in an angled position.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
